"The Book of The Dragonborn."

I was watching a video of a "Let's Play" of Skyrim, when the player opened up a book and started flipping through the pages. Here's what was written on it.

Many People have heard the term "Dragonborn" - we are of course ruled by the "Dragonborn Emporers" - but the true meaning of the term is not commonly understood. For those of us in the Order of Talos, this is a subject near and dear to our hearts, and in this book I will attempt to illuminate the history and significance of those known as Dragonborn. down through the ages. Most scholars agree that the term was first used in connection with the Covenant of Akatosh, when the blessed St. Alessia was given the Amulet of kings and the Dragonfires in the Temple of the One were first lit. "Akatosh, looking with pity upon the plight of men, drew precious blood from his own heart, and blessed St.

Being that this game is supposedly super epic, I couldn't help but feel that this short story contained a series of allusions—especially since it came out on 11/11/11, so that there was a numerological presence. (Not that I believe in numerology.) Can anyone infer from the story any analogous events recorded (whether factual or not)?

The Nordics are a very patriotic race that shut down opposing viewpoints. There is a rebel faction and religion is being suppressed due to a treaty signed with enemies at the end of a recent war. That's all I know so far, but it does seem to resonate with today's times a bit.

well if the chinese considered ufos dragons then the occupants who stepped outside the craft would be dragon born

Ok. I was just curious about the story because it seemed very ambiguous, and one of my theories is that some video games contain subconscious propaganda, and the diction of the story itself just seemed off. I get that the story is there to add layer and depth for the video game, but the syntax made the story appear as if it was reaching out to something in real life. I just don't know what—or if I'm over thinking it.

Have you ever played ANY of the other Elder scroll games? Do you realise they are full to the brim what content relating to its own fictional world? Books, stories, fables, legends - all provide 'filler' for the games.

This is nothing new and I think you're reading too much into something.

Draconian DNA. If it's based on anything, it must be that some are born with more of this alien DNA than others. DNA tunes in consciousness and those with that DNA would resonate with each other and perhaps share some mental attributes.

Just a guess.
I wouldn't take it too seriously.
Games and Sci-fi are rife with this stuff.
It's in cartoons & kids' books too.

I don't think you are over thinking it at all. As soon as anyone starts pointing out that maybe, just maybe, something that costs millions of dollars might be steering people to a certain agenda, that's when people come out of the woodwork to say you are crazy...

People are already skeptical of much of the news. If the people were aware of just how much of our entertainment media has been sculpting us for decades and started being skeptical of their entertainment too, the game would be over for the elites. This awareness is the beginning of truly "waking up". It really is monumental - a Neo in the Matrix moment (and that movie is part of the mind control too - people who think that they are really awake stay asleep the best.)

IMO, over 90% of our entertainment: video games, comic books, TV shows, conspiracy theories, movies, etc are deliberately crafted for a social programming effect. And that these items are highly coordinated and woven in with "real life", ie "news". If there is a comet streaking across the sky on Tuesday morning, CSI will "coincidentally" have a show about a criminal cosmologist that night, and the gov't will have legislation banning skywatching and a speech crowing about how many jobs this will create on Wednesday morning. It's just how it is. The hard part in all this is knowing what the hidden agenda is that we are being steered towards.

Which is why you asked the OP question in the first place.

So, S+F for posting this Skyrim(?) piece. I find video game predictive programming really interesting.

Here's my take on it:

*Page 4 The connection with the rulers of the Empire was thus there from the beginning - only those of the dragon blood were able to wear the Amulet of kings and light the Dragonfires. All the legitimate rulers of the Empire have been Dragonborn - the Emperors and Empresses of the first Cyrodilic Empire founded by Alessia; Reman Cyrodiil and his heirs; and of course Tiber Septim and his...

*Page 5 ...heirs, down to our current Emperor, his Majesty Pelagius Septim IV. Because of this connection with the Emperors, however, the other significance of the Dragonborn has been obscured and largely forgotten by all but scholars and those of us dedicated to the service of the blessed Talos, who was Tiber Septim. Very few realize that being Dragonborn...

*Page 6 ...is not a simple matter of heredity - being the blessing of Akatosh himself, it is beyond our understanding exactly how and why it is bestowed. Those who become Emperor and light the Dragonfires are surely Dragonborn - the proof is in the wearing of the Amulet and the lighting of the Fires. But they were Dragonborn and thus able to do these things - or was the doing the sign of the blessing of...

*Page 7 ...Akatosh descending upon them? All that we can say is that it is both, and neither - a divine mystery.

Septim is referring to septem, latin for 7, God's number. Dragonborn is a reference to Satan, obviously. There's a clear parallel to King Arthur's pulling the sword from the stone to "being able to wear the amulet and light the fires". (King Arthur is code for the antichrist, Prince William, imo. See the Roundtable Group for more info on globalist agendas en.wikipedia.org...).

What Prince William is "able to do" as an analog to this is unclear to me. Maybe he uses the spear of destiny/ holy lance (the lance that pierced Christ at the crucifixion) to kill a dragon or "evil zombie Jesus that returns at the end of 2012", who knows.
The notions about heredity is a reference to the Davidic bloodline, ie King of Israel. Once they've established the lie that Jesus had kids, they will say that the Illuminati are descendants of Christ, and thus part of the Davidic bloodline. Of which Prince William will be a "descendant of Christ". Something like that. And as it said, only certain descendants have the "mystical powers".

That's what I saw in it anyway.

You're reading way too deeply into a book in a fantasy videogame.

All the flavor lore you are talking about has been established in earlier games. If you want to look at parallels in Skyrim, you'll want to pay attention to their relationship the Empire and Skyrim's civil war. As funny as it sounds, it was "ripped from today's headlines" far more accurately than any Call of Duty game.

Fiction is fiction, no matter the format. There have been plenty of "fiction" that has influenced the world or had been used as allegorical life lessons. Don't let your bias rob you of an art form you might otherwise appreciate.

Man, is it just mean, or is Skyrim awesome? That game is legit. If it's illuminati propaganda designed to whatever my brain, it's some top shelf stuff. It's better than MTV atleast. This is like the paranoid schizophrenic's equivalent of the Christian parents freaking out over Dungeons and Dragons, or Harry Potter. Pop culture's dumb, and trite, but it doesn't contain cryptic NWO messages. Except for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which IS illuminati propaganda, with the subliminal messages in the spooky tunnel, with chicken's heads getting cut off. What is that even about, man?!
